BRIEF HISTORY
San Ramon shares the same history with its neighbors Pleasanton and Danville. It too was home to the Native Americans, the Seunen and Ohlone, people who lived in the Amador Valley and settled along San Ramon Creek. In the late 1700’s, Mission San Jose was completed and the Valley was used as grazing land for the Mission livestock. Ramon, an Indian vaquero or cowboy gave his name to the small settlement adding the title “San” to conform to Spanish custom. When gold fever struck in the mid 1800’s, the undefined area began to form into a lively town. The Amador Valley was a popular route taken by thousands of miners in search of gold. The small village of San Ramon quickly grew into a busy stop over for miners seeking their fortune in the Mother Lode. Following considerable lobbying efforts by local residents, in 1891, San Ramon welcomed the San Ramon Branch line, the first railroad to service the area. With the arrival of the railroad, San Ramon began to stretch its borders to accommodate the many new residents who relocated to the Bay area. Today, San Ramon has a population of over 49,000 and is considered to be one of the most desirable cities in the Valley.
